Add mp4 to itunes

after updating to 10.5 itunes will not let me add mp4 files to film library will let me do music ??? please help but will let my brother on him new laptop same file ???

Where did the MP4 file come from? Some encoders, such as Microsoft's, create a nonstandard file but use the same extension. iTunes recognizes standard MP4 (AAC) files, but cannot play Microsoft's offshoot. The same may apply to other encoders if they're not following the industry standard.

Why can't i add mp4 to itunes?

On my mac (OSX 10.7.5) I'm running iTunes 11.0.1 and attempting to add to my iTunes library an mp4 video created by others. The mp4 file opens fine in QuickTime 10.1. In iTunes I select add to library, select the file, and receive no error message. But nothing happens. I've checked each of the options in my Movies library, and searched my entire library, with no luck. I don't see that the file was added.
I understand that iTunes does not accept some mp4 files, but it's my understanding the criteria is whether or not QuickTime can handle the file. Since QuickTime displays the video, I would assume iTunes would accept the file. Am I missing something?
Thanks for your help!

I had the same issue. In my case the solution was simple. On top iTunes (in my case 11.4) has five selections: unwatched, movies, genres, home videos and list. I alway had movies selected, not know it would only show watched videos. Select the pane "unwatched" and you will see all the movies you have added. Selecting "list" will show all - watched and unwatched videos. For some reason have never paid attention to these selections. However, I still think just displaying watched movies under a pane called "movies" is not very intuitive.

I can't add mp4s to iTunes

Earlier this week, I converted a file the other day using Jodix iPod Converter and it worked fine. Later that same week I downloaded a video off video.google.com in mp4 format but it would not add to iTunes. Today I proceeded to convert another .avi video using the same converter, but it would not add to iTunes. I've tried dragging&dropping, File---->Add File To Library and have tried opening it with iTunes. None of which works.

first you open itunes and go to the library now in a different window open up where your video is nowq you drag and drop and if it does not go into your ipod it is because it is a file not capable of going into your ipod

How to add mp4 format videos to itune 12

how i can add mp4 format videos to my iphone 5

Hey there Amir,
According to the technical specifications for your iPhone 5, MP4 is a supported file format ( iPhone 5 - Technical Specifications ) so you can also try syncing the video over the same way you would sync music:
iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer - Apple Support
If you are unable to sync these MP4 video files to your iPhone from your iTunes library, you can use this article to create a version that is compatible with your phone, and that version should sync over without issue:
iTunes: Videos may be unable to sync to iPhone, iPad, or iPod - Apple Support
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

My PC itunes does not add mp4 files in the library.

My PC itunes does not add mp4 files in the library. why?

YEs, files downloaded before Monday are fine, coul add them ti library.
I'Ve now changed the FTP client, from Transmit to Cyberduck, and can now add new files to the library. All files transfered via Transmit however remain unacceptable to iTunes. It is a pity, as Transmit is much faster and user-friendly.
HAve written to Transmit for their input.

You can convert .m4p using iTunes.
Make a playlist of files and burn to "audio CD". Use the new .aiff file in your iMovie Project.

MOV is a container format which may contain all kinds of codec, while iTunes only import MOV whose video codec is DV, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.264, or AIC.
Even if the MOV meet the above requirement and supported and playable in iTunes, it will still fail to sync to iPod/iPad/iPhone/Apple TV if the MOV video does not fit the specification like resolution, bit rate, aspect ratio, size, and audio codec of the iPod/iPad/iPhone/Apple TV.
In order to successfully import MOV to iTunes as well as sync MOV to Apple TV, iPod, iPhone, iPad, we have better convert the MOV video to a more compatible video format.

Cannot add movie to itunes

Why can I not add movies to itunes? Anyone?

mv4? The correct extension is .m4v or .mp4
iTunes is selective about formats it will play.
On the PC do you have "copy to library" selected in iTunes preferences. I don't know if that is the issue but it might be since these are on read-only media.

No support for downloading MP4 into Itunes library

Hi!
There seems to be a lot of questions on what to do if Itunes won't add MP4 movies. (I'm having this problem also).
Does anyone know who to contact if we can't get an answer in these forums?

The least expensive way that I can think of is an external hard drive. That is what I do all my archiving to.
If you have an external BluRay recorder, it might work so long as the drive itself has drivers available for your Mac. Still, you won't be able to watch movies, as the device itself has to support some of the protocols. Apple themselves do not support BluRay movie play at all, and likely never will.

Mp4 QuickTime/iTunes AC3 5.1

Hi, I just convert 300 DVDs to Mp4 with AC3 5.1 with Nero Recode 2, the problem is I have NO sound and thats because QuickTime dont support AC3 5.1
Can some one please help me, I need to play those Mp4 in iTunes, I don´t care if those Mp4 plays in 2 channels or 5.1, what I need is to heard the sound of the movies
Does the QuickTime PRO can fix this issue? or do I need some plug-in or something
Thanks in advance

Hey
Quicktime Pro will not solve this problem.
There a re a couple of codecs for AC3 around that allow quicktime and programs that use it to play AC3.
This link is to one. (A52 being the other name for AC3)
http://trac.cod3r.com/a52codec/
Alternatively use VLC player, although will not allow itunes to play.
An app that is really useful to me is mAC3dec 1.6.3 f. This splits AC3 files into seperate audio files which you can add to a quicktime file.
Here is the link
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macos/14479
For this number of movies however we are talking weeks of re-encoding and copy paste.( also will not work if above codec is installed.)
Hope that gives you plenty to think about.

Add mp3 to iTunes, delete file from Downloads, add Grouping?

Can anyone help me make an Applescript (or it may need to be two) that can be used as a folder action to watch the Downloads folder and:
1) Open .mp3s in iTunes and set track Grouping ID3 field to 'singles', then delete original .mp3s.
2) Open .zip and .rar archives, parse then unarchived folder for .mp3 files, add them to iTunes, set track Grouping ID3 field to 'albums', then delete original folder of .mp3s.
2a) Bonus points if the script adds the .mp3s to itunes in descending order based on file name track numbers (track 10, track 9, track 8...).

bump for more help?

Add mp3 to iTunes, delete file from Downloads, add Comment?

I'm trying to make a folder action that will:
- Watch my 'Downloads' folder for downloaded .mp3 files.
- Add those .mp3 files to iTunes, letting iTunes copy to music folder.
- Delete the original file from the 'Downloads' folder.
- In iTunes, append '#single' to the Comment field of added .mp3.
So far I have the first three working, but cannot get it to append the #single part to the Comment field, here's what I have:
property myFiletypes : {".mp3"}
on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items
set myFinderItems to added_items
tell application "System Events"
set allItems to every item of myFinderItems
end tell
repeat with i from 1 to the count of allItems
try
-- get an item
set myFinderItem to (item i of allItems as alias)
-- check if it is a folder
tell application "Finder" to set myItemIsFolder to (kind of myFinderItem = "Folder")
-- if it isn't a folder...
if myItemIsFolder is false then
-- see if the file has the right extension
tell application "Finder" to set myItemExtension to "." & (name extension of myFinderItem) as string
if myFiletypes contains myItemExtension then
set mySongName to myFinderItem as alias
-- add track to iTunes
tell application "iTunes"
add mySongName
end tell
tell application "Finder" to delete file myFinderItem
end if
end if
on error
display dialog "Error"
end try
end repeat
end adding folder items to

Better yet, an Applescript that can be used as a folder action to watch the Downloads folder and:
1) Open .mp3s in iTunes and append #single to track Comments, then delete original .mp3s.
2) Open .zip and .rar archives, parse then unarchived folder for .mp3 files, add them to iTunes, append #album to track Comments, then delete original folder of .mp3s.
2a) Bonus points if the script adds the .mp3s to itunes in descending order based on file name track numbers (track 10, track 9, track 8...).
